PlusAI Forms Advisory Council for Autonomous Truck Safety

Plus has announced the formation of a Safety and Policy Advisory Council to guide the company on safety, operational strategies, and regulatory issues as it prepares for the commercial launch of its factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027. Announced in a press release, the council comprises former regulators and industry leaders with extensive experience in trucking policy and operations.

The council includes notable figures such as Andrew Boyle, former Co-President of Boyle Transportation and former Chairman of the American Trucking Associations (ATA), and Jeff Denham, a former U.S. Congressman from California. Other members include Sue Lawless, former Acting Deputy Administrator at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Spencer R. Moore, former Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Driver Services, and Dan Van Alstine, former President of Ruan Transportation Management Systems.

This initiative is part of PlusAI's strategy to ensure a safe and scalable deployment of its autonomous trucks, leveraging the expertise of its council members to navigate the complex regulatory landscape and operational challenges in the trucking industry.
